Sweden has always been one of the biggest markets for dance music with legendary artists like Axwell, Avicii, Steve Angello, Eric Prydz hailing from the Scandinavian region. As the dance music scene continues to grow, more and more producers continue making their name across the world, and Alesso has certainly been one of them. One of today’s hottest talents, the young producer/DJ has made quite name for himself having put out massive singles like “Years“, “Calling” amongst his more recent hits like “I Wanna Know” and more.
Ahead of his headlining performance at Budweiser Presents EDC India this weekend, we caught up with the Swedish powerhouse to talk about his highly awaited return to India, his new single with Dillon Francis and much more!
Read on.
TBB: Hi Alessandro, thanks for taking out the time to speak with us. How are things?
Alesso: Great. Never better 
TBB: The wait has been real. How does it feel to be back in India after such a long-span?
Alesso: I’m excited to be coming back to India. It’s been too long.
TBB: You recently released your track “Take My Breath Away” with Dillon Francis. Can you tell us a bit about the track?
Alesso: It was fun working with Dillon. I was living in LA at the time and we just got together one day. Stayed in the studio for hours working and next thing you know the track was born. It felt natural and that’s always an amazing feeling.
TBB: What can we expect from you in the near future? Any new productions that you’re working on?
Alesso: There’s definitely new music heading your way soon!
TBB: You released your debut album ‘Forever’ last year. How different was the creative process of writing an album, as compared to a single? Will we see more Alesso albums in the coming future?
Alesso: Creating a body of work like an album is definitely being in a different head space than just putting out a single. But ‘Forever’ was my first and I’m so proud of it. You’ll just have to wait and see whats in store for 2017…
TBB: You started out as a 19-year-old, and now are one of the biggest names in the world of dance music. How has your journey been?
Alesso: My journey from when I started up until now has been unreal. I’m so lucky and so blessed to have the career that I do and I owe all of that to my amazing fans.
TBB: You recently built a whole new show for your Greek Theatre gig in September. How was the whole experience of playing a solo show at one of the most iconic venues around the world?
Alesso: Playing the Greek Theatre in LA was a huge milestone for me and one I’ve always wanted to do. The show turned out even better than I ever could have imagined.
